Meet Maheen
Where are you from?
North-East London
What do you love about going online?
I love going online because it helps me stay connected with friends, watch funny videos, and learn new things easily.
Why did you apply to join the Childnet Youth Advisory Board?
I wanted to join the Youth Advisory Board because I want to share my ideas, help make a difference in my community, and be a voice for young people like me.
If you could change one thing about the internet, what would it be and why?
If I could change one thing about the internet, I’d make it a safer place for everyone, especially young people. There’s too much bullying, hate, and fake information. It should be a space where we can learn, have fun, and connect without feeling judged or worried about our safety.
If you could give one piece advice for adults about keeping children safe online, what would it be?
I’d tell adults to talk to kids openly instead of just setting strict rules. Make us feel safe to ask questions or share if something weird happens online.
What 5 words would you use to describe yourself?
Curious, creative, honest, kind, thoughtful
